ncaafDecember 16, 2015 11:10am ESTDecember 15, 2015 10:55am ESTAlabama placed four players on the SN first-team, while five other teams have two on it. Here's SN's first- and second-team All-Americans for the 2015 season.

That's half of the eight SEC players that make up the first team — the Big 12 has six and Big Ten five.

Florida State kicker Roberto Aguayo and Florida cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III are the only two repeat first-team selections. Baylor OL Spencer Drango, FSU CB Jalen Ramsey, Ohio State DE Joey Bosa and Utah punter Tom Hackett made either the first or second team this season and in 2014.

Sporting News is one of five All-America teams that makes up the NCAA's consensus team, along with the American Football Coaches Association, Football Writers Association of American, Associated Press and Walter Camp Football Foundation.

3RB Christian McCaffrey, Stanford

First team

Forget about the NCAA all-purpose record. Want to really impress your buddies? Tell them McCaffrey had only 20 carries less than Henry’s 339 (look at the size difference between the two) — in response to Henry’s Heisman Trophy moment of back-to-back 40-plus carry games to finish the season.

4WR Corey Coleman, Baylor

First team

What could have been had Seth Russell stayed healthy. When Baylor’s starting quarterback went down in Week 7, so did Coleman’s chances at a gigantic season (not that 20 TDs isn’t a huge accomplishment).

12K Roberto Aguayo, FSU

First team

Just because he missed four kicks this season (and one was returned for a game-winning touchdown) doesn’t mean Aguayo isn’t the best in the game. With the game on the line, there’s no one else you’d rather have kicking.

13KR Evan Berry, Tennessee

14DE Carl Nassib, Penn State

First team

The one-time walk-on led the nation in sacks (15.5) and had 19.5 tackles for loss — for a guy who wasn’t on anyone’s radar prior to the season. Now he might just work his way into the first round of the NFL Draft.

19LB Reggie Ragland, Alabama

First team

Ragland likes to talk about the Tide D-line setting him up (at least three on the D-line are All-American-worthy), but he’s the heart of a wicked defense. He stayed in college and significantly improved his draft stock.

21CB Desmond King, Iowa

22CB Vernon Hargreaves III, Florida

First team

Still the best cover corner in the game (was in 2014, too). One NFL scout asked how anyone threw on Florida (including CB Jalen Tabor). They didn’t: Gators gave up 5.8 yards per attempt, 174.8 yards per game and had 14 INTs).

25P Tom Hackett, Utah

First team

The Utah publicity staff likes to tout that in games against ranked opponents, Hackett averaged 53 yards per punt. But he does so much more, constantly changing the field and dropping punts inside the 20.

26PR Cameron Sutton, Tennessee

First team

At one point midway through the season, Tennessee’s best option at scoring was its return game (including KR Evan Berry). Sutton led the nation at 18.7 yards per return, and had two returns for touchdowns.
